I booked this hotel simply because of the location to The Lanes. It was perfect, I didm't realise it was a hostel but it didn't matter. The receptionist, Suzie, was incredibly friendly and knowledgeble. We were treated really well, enjoyed the perfect location, it was clean and we slept well. I would stay there again. We were able to leave our lugguage before and after check in and out. Wonderful experience.

Perfect stay!

Have stayed here a couple of times previously and it was just as good! Room was huge, tidy, view was excellent and I think it’s great value for money. Located so close to everything too. Staff were kind and service was good.

This is the best place to stay for people with a lower budget. We booked a room with a private bathroom. It’s in the city centre/next to the beach and the pier! The facilities could use some TLC but it’s not that bad. Would definitely come back here again. Thank you!

A nice affordable place. We stayed for New Year’s and a convenient access to the beach. Easily accessible food options, clubs, pubs and a theatre. Only cons is that the room is a bit weird with the wall sticker and the paint coming out. The bathroom is renovated and feels much cleaner than the room. You have to pay extra £2 for the towels. Staffs were amazing and very nice. The cafe is nice and the guy who made us tea at night was so nice. Overall, happy with the place and the stay.

First got there, the man at reception wasn’t the friendliest. Gave us a hostel room when that was not on the booking at all, the room was completely falling apart, extremely dirty pillows and the cleanliness was just awful (photo evidence), could barely sleep due to upstairs people, constantly banging and stomping, we need complain but nothing was done about it. The beds themselves were super uncomfy.

BOOK RIGHT NOW!

I chose the YHA because of its cost and location and as a single lady, chose to pay for a double room. I had made a special request which was honoured - thank you! I cannot praise the hostel highly enough. The staff were friendly and helpful and carried my heavy bag upstairs for me. Yes, the room was basic but apart from a kettle and a towel, it had EVERYTHING one could need. I knew from the hostel info that these items were not provided and made arrangements for myself. I paid for the cooked breakfast and it was plentiful and excellent. I urge you to support this place - it is the best deal in the whole of Brighton. Thank you to all staff. If you are reading this, then look NO further, if basic is OK for you, then book right now!

0 facilities, blood stained curtains, £2.50 towel.

Never given a hotel 1 star till today. : Understand it's a hostel, but booked a private room would atleast expect towels (£2.50 each to borrow) to be free, never in my life had to pay for them anywhere I stayed before. No basics such as hairdryer, shampoo, soap, kettle/drink facilities ect. Really is the bare minimum you get. For a. 4 star accommodation it doesn't add up. Inside Curtains could easily be cleaned but covered in blood or something aswell. Disgusting!! Bit more effort to clean wouldn't have gone a miss Weird that they have a wonderful done up bathroom but still charge for towels. Room was spacious & perfect location decent view atleast.
